There was a nice break in the rain from when we started until when we finished :!:
I did feel kind of sorry for the other bands as they marched in the downpour whilst I was in the pub with a pint :twisted:

suprised you remember caroline! well I actually know that you don't it is only because I have been nice enought to fill you in..... I wonder how lynchie's memory held up, I have some interesting pictures that will be up tomorrow, anti-release bribes accepted (cash only please!)

Our visit to Lavenham was also affected by the weather, although we still managed a half-hour programme in the market-place - using lyres rather than setting up stands, etc, so that was a bit of a bonus :wink: - followed by the march and the programme in the church in the evening.

Good day, nevertheless, and a particular "Well done" to Anthony Sommerville who transposed "Demelza" onto euph following the hospitalisation of our solo horn player on Friday night :shock: :wink: :!:

it gets worse... i let a particularly drunk miss twigge light said liquid within the confines of my mouth...

WHOA BOY!!!! Wow that puts a new spin on the "Flaming Sambuca" concept I suppose :lol:

I trust it wasn't lighter fuel you were drinking :? . So which flammable liquid was it? Meths??? :wink:

Twas the aforementioned Sambuca, classily dispensed in plastic cups for £1.70 a shot (Shockingly expensive if you ask me... but no one did) Must say I was disappointed with the number of people who tried to weedle their way out of it... you know who you are!

Anyway, it was nice to get something warm inside, with all that miserable rain outside...
